Horsing Around

So today my dear friend, Stephanie, invited my girls and I on a field trip to the horse farm where she works. Oh, how excited they were! Here are some pictures of their day of fun. Unfortunately, I realized later that we never got a picture of the girls with Stephanie :(

Maia even got to "fix" a tractor and "drive" another. Wink, wink. Stephanie got some other cute pictures. I'll have to post them another day.

Thank you, Mrs. Stephanie!

Fun little quiz

I found this over at my friend, Lifenut's blog. I had so much fun with it, that I thought I'd share it with all my friends here. Check it out here and then leave me a comment to let me know what your style is. By the way, my style was Classic Country. Surprise, surprise!

If you've been lurking (as MandyMom puts it) around my site, please leave me a comment and let me know you stopped by. I'd love to hear from you :)

The Bathroom Door is Closed

I found this yesterday when I was looking for the last poem I posted. I loved it and couldn't resist posting it. I can soooo relate!

Please do not stand here and talk, whine, or ask questions.

Wait until I get out.

Yes, it is locked.

I want it that way.

It is not broken, and I am not trapped.

I know I have left it unlocked, and even open at times, since you were born, because I was afraid some horrible tragedy might occur while I was in there, but it's been 10 years and

I want some PRIVACY.

Do not ask me how long I will be.

I will come out when I am done.

Do not bring the phone to the bathroom door.

Do not go running back to the phone yelling "She's in the BATHROOM!"

Do not begin to fight as soon as I go in.

Do not stick your little fingers under the door and wiggle them.

This was funny when you were two.

Do not slide pennies, LEGOs, or notes under the door.

Even when you were two this got a little tiresome.

If you have followed me down the hall talking, and are still talking as you face this closed door, please turn around, walk away, and wait for me in another room.

I will be glad to listen to you when I am done.

And yes, I still love you.

Mom ...

Octamom is contagious!

So I decided to take Octamom's advice and play around on scrapblog.com. I had sooo much fun! I made a scrapblog of my sister's wedding last November. I've caught the bug!

Tagged by Octamom!

Thanks Octamom! I feel sooooo special! I would have done this last night, but the storms swept through and our power went out while I was cooking dinner. FINALLY, it came back on at around 5:30 this morning! To add a little more adventure to our night, hubby got a flat tire out on a dark back road at around 10:30 and couldn't see to change the tire. Soooo, I fumbled around in the dark to get the kiddies dressed and drive out to shine my light :) He just happened to pull off the road at the end of the long lane of some crazy man who was screaming from his house to get off of his property or he'd call the cops!!! And he DID call the cops, much to our gratitude because with the extra light and help in the rain we finally got the stuck tire off of the truck and got back to our HOT and dark, but dry home before midnight.

Soooo, here it is:
